Yes. EASE is a valid word.
EASE is valid in the North American word list used for the Scrabble board game and other crossword tile games.
EASE is in the NASPA Word List 2023 (NWL2023), the North American list that Tileside uses for challenges and the one used in club and tournament play.
About EASE
EASE means freedom from difficulty or worry, or to make something less painful or difficult; its forms include EASED, EASES and EASING. It uses two E tiles and an A with one S. EASE is a good reminder that common words often clear vowels just as well as rare ones, and they're valid, so a challenge against them fails.

EASE scores 4 points
Before any bonus squares: E 1 + A 1 + S 1 + E 1 = 4. On a double-word square that's 8, on a triple-word 12, and every letter bonus under one of these tiles is applied first.
Example: EASE as the first play
Later in the game, put the E on a 3L square and EASE is worth 6 before any word bonus.
